The fast-traveling boss conspired against me

Outside the hall, there was falling snow, and inside the hall there was a faint scent of incense, and the statues enshrined on the high platform were solemn and solemn. The Empress Dowager was holding a Buddhist bead in her hand, and she was muttering something with her eyes closed.

She is obviously the most noble woman in the palace, but her clothes are unusually simple.

"Queen Mother, Beauty Wei is here." The nurse next to her whispered, and the woman opened her eyes. Although her eyes were wrinkled, she still had a charming look, and she looked very kind.

"Let him wait a while, and wait for Aijia to change clothes."

After a while, the Queen Mother changed her clothes and came out. Meiren Wei jumped on her when she saw her, looking a little aggrieved.

"Queen, is the emperor very busy these days?" He pulled the queen to sit down with a very friendly attitude.

No wonder Wei Meiren was rude, he and the queen mother both have the surname Wei, and he is from the queen mother's mother's family, so naturally he is closer.

"What's the matter? The emperor has neglected you." The queen mother smiled and patted Wei Meiren's hand. She usually eats vegetarian food and prays to Buddha, so she doesn't hear much.

Wei Meiren beat around the bush, but wanted the queen mother to help him get rid of Chao Song, because the emperor's favor can only be his.

Thinking about it, Wei Meiren pretended to be hesitant and said: "Queen Mother, it's nothing if the emperor didn't come to my place, but you may not know that the rumors in this palace recently..."

"What's wrong?" the Queen Mother asked suspiciously.

That's what Wei Meiren was waiting for.He immediately said: "You also know that the emperor works day and night, with so many eyes staring at him, he should pay more attention to everything."

"But... these emperors often go to the cold palace, and reward them from time to time, but the concubines who are at fault are imprisoned in the cold palace, and the gossip in the palace is really..."

On the surface, Wei Meiren was thinking of the emperor, and she was decent.But the hatred in his eyes was almost overflowing.

The Empress Dowager thought for a while, then patted Wei Meiren's hand, and said, "It's indeed the emperor's fault this time, you have a heart, and when he comes to invite An Ai's family, he will give some pointers."

After getting the answer she wanted, Wei Meiren exchanged greetings with the Queen Mother for two hours before leaving.

Every day after the court, the emperor would come to pay his respects to the queen mother.

"Greetings to the Queen Mother." An Xugui leaned over slightly, with a faint smile on his lips.

The Queen Mother nodded, "Give me a seat."

"How is the emperor recently?"

An Xugui said: "There is nothing major in the court, everything is fine."

Holding a cup of weak tea, it is steaming hot, and the fragrance is overflowing. The fresh and elegant floral fragrance makes the man inexplicably feel that he is somewhat similar to someone.

He lowered his head and took a sip, his mouth full of fragrance.

"I heard that the emperor often goes to the cold palace recently, but he likes it very much?" The topic finally fell to the ground, the queen mother asked.

Her face was originally kind, and the Empress Dowager was also a person who liked to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha's name. The scent of incense all over her body made people feel close to her.

There was a smile in An Xugui's eyes, but he didn't hide it. "The Queen Mother is well-informed, and I really like it."

The generous attitude made the Queen Mother laugh. She didn't say anything wrong with An Xugui, but said: "If the emperor likes it so much, let him out. Staying in the cold palace is not an option."

There was a slight smile in his tone, and his attitude was conniving.

An Xugui stood up and leaned over.

"Thank you, Queen Mother, for your guidance."

Speaking of which, the current emperor is not born of the empress dowager, but the relationship is as if he was his own.

An Xugui ascended the throne at the age of nine, before the Empress Dowager listened to the government behind a curtain.

The empress dowager has always been conniving with the emperor's affairs. After An Xugui became an adult, she ignored court affairs and worshiped Buddha and chanted scriptures with a pure heart, which meant being a shopkeeper.

But An Xugui acted recklessly, and after taking power in person, he has the title of faint king.Not only was the Empress Dowager not annoyed, but her attitude was as soft and indulgent as ever.

It can be said that part of the reason for the emperor's reckless behavior is the indulgent posture of the queen mother.

On the other hand, the wind and cold in Chaosong improved a lot. He wanted to go for a walk from time to time, but every time Zhuzi seemed to be afraid that he would be blown away by the wind, so he followed him closely and asked him to wear thick clothes. robe.

Except for An Xugui who was still unshakeable and walked around every day, Chao Song felt that life was very comfortable.

But he didn't expect the happy days to come to an end so soon.

"By God's blessing, the emperor's edict said: Chao Meiren has a good attitude during the confinement period in the cold palace, and she will pay for her merits. From now on, Chao Meiren will be released from confinement and given a residence in Fengyang Palace."

No matter how illogical this imperial decree is, it is an imperial decree, and no one dares to resist it. If you disobey the decree, you will be beheaded.

Chao Song was stunned until the eunuch who announced the decree called him.

The eunuch smiled, "Congratulations to Chao Meiren, get the order quickly."

Chao Song felt that the cold palace was quite clean.He didn't need to think about how many storms he would face after going out.

It wasn't that he was afraid, it was that he didn't want to fight openly and secretly with those people.

But many times, our choices are not within our control.

So Chao Song moved out of the cold palace, and An Xu came back more frequently, sometimes even having meals with Chao Song.

The emperor's imperial meals are all delicious in color, fragrance and shape, and the names are also very luxurious.After the food was passed on, a special person was responsible for testing the poison, and then served the emperor with vegetables.

All in all, the dinner table is very formal, but Chao Song has been well-bred since he was a child. Although he is silent, he behaves decently, and he will not be spoiled.

Maybe the emperor liked him for that.

"Try this." An Xugui reached out and held a golden shrimp ball for Chao Song. The color between his brows and eyes was very strong, which formed a sharp contrast with Chao Song's coldness.

Chao Song silently picked up the prawn balls and put them in his mouth. The prawns are very fresh and have a distinct taste. The outer layer has a crispy shell, and the meat inside is juicy and tender.

His eyes narrowed slightly. Foxes are carnivores. Of course, Chao Song also likes to eat meat, but he is better at hiding his emotions.

An Xugui stared at the person in front of him, watching the person stuff small bites of shrimp balls into his mouth, his cheeks puffed up slightly, but his expression was still calm.

The lip color is not dyed but vermilion, moist and looks as delicate as flower petals.Her complexion is snow-white, delicate and smooth, her eyes are dark and shiny, and she is always calm and unwavering.

The man licked his dry lips, his eyes were a little hot, he lowered his head and took a sip of the strong wine, his heart burning more and more.

"Does Concubine Ai like it?" An Xugui pulled his lips and smiled, his breath was heavy, his eyebrows and eyes were evil, and he glanced at Song but didn't know why.

"I like it." He nodded lightly.

After the meal, the things on the table had just been taken away. The man sat upright and wiped his mouth with a handkerchief. When he was expressionless, he still looked dignified, with a natural air of awe-inspiring sentient beings.

Zhao Song lowered his eyes, remembering that when the man hugged him that day, his movements were still very gentle.

"My concubine, don't move." The strong breath suddenly approached, and when she raised her eyes towards Song, she found that An Xugui had already approached him at some point, and the two were very close.

Chao Song didn't move in a daze, and let the man bend down holding the handkerchief, and the scorching breath sprayed all over his face.

"... There is something unclean at the corner of Concubine Ai's mouth, I will wipe it off for you."
